Born in Ukraine, but now a transplanted New Yorker, street
photographer Sonia Goydenko travels "The City," searching the crowd
for faces - indrawn, alone, distant. Her people are present in the
physical sense, but often disconnected from reality. Visibly tired of the
hustle and bustle of urban life, they retreat to empty subway cars and
darkened street corners to have a moment to themselves. Some are compressed by
the spaces they are in and by the strangers who surround them. Others appear
minuscule or lifeless, as if part of a movie backdrop. Sonia's degree is
in Psychology and the title of her portfolio, "Fragments of
Consciousness." is a scientific term-of-art, describing that feeling
of being detached from reality or not being ‘grounded’ in one's usual sense of
self. In that sense, her streets are everyone's streets and the city is
everywhere.
